The Report sets specific targets and indicators for achieving the eight Millennium Development Goals. It comprises eight chapters, one on each goal, in which everyone is able to follow the status, achievement policies and trends for the Goals’ development up to 2015.
The Millennium Development Goal (MDG) Initial Report has been prepared following Bulgaria’s commitments as a signatory to the UN Millennium Declaration of September 2000. Out of the Milennium Declaration, a set of eight goals were established to be achieved by 2015 - in the areas of poverty, education, gender equality, child mortality, maternal health, HIV/AIDS and other diseases, environmental sustainability and global partnerships for development. In view of the country’s forthcoming membership in the European Union, the MDGs in Bulgaria are aligned with the average indicators of the EU Member States.
The publication is the outcome of a consultative process of a wide group of stakeholders from government, parliament, Presidential administration, civil society, media, and UN agencies and organizations who came together and adapted the eight goals to Bulgaria’s national development context and set specific targets and indicators.
